Purchase Order Deed System
Purchase Orders are a convenient way for player vendor owners to also request resources from other players. You pre-pay what you will pay per resource, select your resource, and then place the deed on your vendor. Other players can then double-click the deed from inside your vendor to target resources on them to fulfill your order, either all at once or in increments.
- Creating a Purchase Order:
- Fresh Purchase Order Deeds can be purchased from Bankers for 100gp.
- The player selects a resource type(such as Ingots, Leathers, or Boards) and inputs:
- Total Amount: The number of units needed (must be greater than 0 and not more than 60,000 units).
- Price Per Unit: The amount of gold the player is willing to pay per unit (must be greater than 0).
- Total Funds: Automatically calculated as (Total Amount * Price Per Unit), and this amount is prepaid by the player when the purchase order is created.
- Limits: The total cost of the purchase order cannot exceed 1,000,000 gp.
- After selecting the details and submitting the order, the purchase order is sealed and cannot be modified further. The deed now represents a binding contract between the player and whoever fulfills it.
- From here you need to add it to your player vendor. Then other players can search for it.
- Purchase Order Deeds are automatically marked Not For Sale.
- Fulfilling a Purchase Order:
- Any player can find and fulfill active purchase orders via the Orders Box or by interacting with player vendors holding active purchase orders / traditional vendor search.
- Orders Boxes can be found at Britain, Luna, and New Haven Bank.
- Orders Boxes only search for active purchase orders and will let you know if none are available.
- Vendor Travel Maps will cost 0gp to travel if created for a purchase order.
- The player who wishes to fulfill the order double-clicks the order from inside the player vendor's backpack and then selects the correct resource type specified in the purchase order.
- They can then supply any amount of the resource (up to the remaining amount needed) and are paid based on the agreed-upon price per unit.
- The player receives payment immediately, calculated as (Units Provided * Price Per Unit).
- The purchase order's current amount is updated with the units added, and its total funds are reduced accordingly.
- The order remains active until the full total amount of resources has been provided.
- Example: If the player orders 10,000 Iron Ingots at 10 gp per unit, another player can add 5,000 Iron Ingots and receive 50,000 gp immediately. The order will remain active until another player adds the remaining 5,000 Iron Ingots.
- Any player can find and fulfill active purchase orders via the Orders Box or by interacting with player vendors holding active purchase orders / traditional vendor search.
- Redeeming a Purchase Order:
- Once the purchase order is sealed and fully prepaid, the owner can redeem the order when it is in their bank box at any time.
- Upon redemption:
- Any resources owed to the player are transferred to their bank box.
- Any remaining gold from unfulfilled portions of the order is deposited back into the player's bank account.
- After the order has been fulfilled and the player retrieves the resources/any remaining gold, the purchase order deed is deleted.
Purchase Order System Disclaimer:
- Not all resources have been added yet.
- If you notice a missing resource, please let me know which one.
- If you have suggestions for other items, please let me know which ones.
- The 1,000,000gp total cap could be raised. I just need a better idea of what an appropriate cap would be.
- The menu itself is still being built. It will eventually get a more modern design.
- Please report any bugs or exploits found with this system right away.
